Police dispersed protesters with tear gas in Marseille on October 24, after a standoff at Porte d'Aix, where an adjacent fire was extinguished. The prefect initially banned Saturday's protest following last week's violence and looting, but authorized a union march on Friday, which started calmly from Les Réformés. The march ended at Porte d'Aix, where marchers observed a minute of silence for a racist terror attack in Yvelines that killed one and injured five.
